QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 10:59 PM) And more importantly, show the valid arguments on both sides about that extent, and what to do (and not do) about it. Fine. You continue to insist that there are valid arguments that somehow the current temperature shift is not anthropogenic. Give me 1.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 11:24 PM) Did you guys see Obama during the Google+ question/answer session? some lady mentioned her husband was unemployed. Obama sarcastically quipped "Oh wow, that really surprises me (rolls eyes)". He is totally out of touch and siding the wall street bankers. was that the one where he spent 3 minutes trying to offer the person a job?

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 11:16 PM) ^^^ Here's the one thing I'm curious about...Newt Gingrich is really easy to attack in any race, a 3 year old could figure that attack ad out. But in a Republican primary, Santorum seems a lot harder to attack. He should seem incredibly toxic in a general election, but we're talking about Republican voters in Arizona for 3 weeks...that doesn't strike me as a group where "this guy really, really hates gay people" is going to be viewed as a huge negative. What else is there to go after him on?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 8, 2012 -> 08:01 AM) Not-Romney part VI wins all three contests yesterday. Really surprised by his Solid Colorado win, Mittens won that state in 2008 even when it was pretty clear McCain was on a path to victory.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) What CBs, LBs, and S are available? Cowboys need some secondary help real bad. There are some decent secondary names, although no guy who will score like the CB did last year. CB Brent Grimes – ATL Lardarius Webb – BAL ® Zackary Bowman – CHI Tim Jennings – CHI Rashean Mathis – JAC Brandon Carr – KC (the guy all the Bears fans are hoping they franchise) Randall Gay – NO Tracy Porter – NO Terrell Thomas – NYG Marcus Trufant – SEA Carlos Rogers – SF (indicated a willingness to stay in SF) Cortland Finnegan – TEN S Brandon Meriweather – CHI James Sanders – ATL Tom Zbikowski – BAL Tyvon Branch – OAK Dashon Goldson – SF Michael Griffin -TEN LaRon Landry – WAS Jordan Babineaux – TEN If the Cowboys have the money to spend, they could add some decent talent at those positions, and maybe even take a gamble on a guy like Meriweather who is coming off a really down year but who has been a pro-bowler in the past.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) If Romney would have had a big night tonight, it'd have been like going into the fourth quarter with a sizable lead. He's left it as a 10 point game right now, and is punting. I just don't see how the Republican party could seriously let Santorum ultimately win this, either. Despite the fact he won Iowa, I guarantee that the state stays blue if he was the nominee. There are now several weeks before Arizona, which means Mitts money gets to hit Santorum over the next couple weeks. Newt-style.

Minnesota called for Santorum.

Missouri is turning into a Santorum stomping. Mittens so far is underperforming how he did in 2008 in Colorado, no idea yet if that could be enough to push that race close. Gingrich being slaughtered.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 08:36 AM) Yeah it was nice to see some pieces fall into place.

Santorum likely to win the contest that doesn't count in Missouri and has a decent early lead in the slow moving MN caucus. This is looking like his night.

2 years, $19 million for Kershaw, avoiding first 2 arbitration years.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) Isn't the WR free agent pool pretty deep this year? Until the franchise tags happen, yes very much so. Franchise tags could knock out maybe 1/2 of them, but there are guys like Vincent Jackson who supposedly won't be franchised, teams like New Orleans who have 3 guys they would like to franchise, and then others who might not as well.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) That seems kind of long, right? Well, he is a part-owner of the team

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) If Angelo was still around, maybe. Now, not so much. While the Marshall talk is fun to speculate about, I really don't see it happening. With the WR's who are on the FA market, there is zero reason right now to talk about Marshall. He's not getting released, and the Bears have other options that don't require them to give up a draft pick.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 03:33 PM) I think Miami, Wash, SF, and Jets will go after him. Clearly Arizona is on that list also. Tennessee I'd guess will be there too.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) Executives get fired for awful decisions that drastically reduce their organization's credibility and popularity? Ya don't say That's not what this country stands for at all.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 12:37 PM) Now maybe they can hire Brandon Marshall. Willing to give up the 19th pick for him?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 12:31 PM) Do we get to see all of the flip flop stories tonight? Nevermind, its Obama. So, if I were to go to CNN.com and have the first story I find on the matter use the phrase "change of position" in the first 5 words, you'd find that adequate and stop asserting the media was in Obama's favor?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 11:49 AM) From all appearances, JR does listen to his partners and does probably operate using a consensus. I'm just pointing out that if JR wanted to veer off course, he'd get his way. There's a decent chance that keeping Ozzie Guillen and expanding payroll by $25 million last year was doing exactly that.

Great, the "Freedom tower" isn't even open yet and it's already being trashed in movies.
